Long–Term Impairment of Retinal Ganglion Cell Function After Oxygen–Induced Retinopathy by Adam M. Schmitz, Stephanie M. Bumbaru, Laith S. Fakhouri, Dao-Qi Zhang

“…However, immunohistochemistry reveals that the density of retinal ganglion cells remains unchanged in post–OIR mice, indicating that the aforementioned pattern electroretinogram changes are functional. Our data further demonstrate that both light–adapted ex vivo electroretinogram a–waves (cone responses) and in vivo electroretinogram b–waves (ON cone bipolar cell responses) were significantly impaired in post–OIR mice. …”
